Enriched weapons-grade uranium consists of 80% uranium-235 (235.044 amu) and 20% uranium-238 (238.051 amu). what is the average

atomic mass of weapons-grade uranium, assuming the percentages are exact?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.

Explain why the process of dissolution can be exothermic or endothermic (heat of solution) with different solutes
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The process of dissolving is exothermic when more energy is released when water molecules “bond” to the solute than is used to pull the solute apart. Because more energy is released than is used, the molecules of the solution move faster, making the temperature increase.

Project the image Endothermic Dissolving.

The process of dissolving is endothermic when less energy is released when water molecules “bond” to the solute than is used to pull the solute apart. Because less energy is released than is used, the molecules of the solution move more slowly, making the temperature decrease.
